X-Fusion Slide 29 RL2R on my 2011 Epic Expert. No more Brain (or QRs) for me! I see where Brain forks could work, but that's just not where I ride and race. This thing feels better than my last Fox at half the price. It's shown at 120 mm, which is cool for winter fun riding. I haven't decided if I'll drop it down to 100 mm for race season yet. Been on it about two months now; it makes the bike feel so much smoother.

Nice upgrade, I think you're going to like those! I just did the same to replace my Elixir R's.

While I haven't ridden with them past the parking lot "bed in" process... The power is insane and they keep Avid's great modulation. Just what I wanted... A lot of other companies brakes with this power have the "on/off" feel (aka shimano saints.) Almost went with Hopes, but couldn't justify the extra cost.

Bike now weighs 24 lbs 14 oz.
Roval control sl 29 wheel set on order, arrives next week
Plan to change pedals to eggbeater 3
Hope to come in at around 23.5 or so. Will post pics and weight as soon as wheels and pedals are on next week.
